Frequently Asked Questions

Vaccine hesitancy refers to delaying or declining vaccination despite vaccines being available. It can have different causes, including concerns about safety, effectiveness, access or misinformation.

Vaccination helps protect individuals from vaccine-preventable diseases and can reduce transmission, helping protect people who may be more vulnerable to infection.

Listen respectfully, acknowledge concerns, provide accurate evidence-based information and encourage people to use reliable health sources when making vaccination decisions.

Respect the person's decision, ensure they have access to accurate information, answer questions within your role and follow local policies for documenting and reporting vaccination decisions.

Look for information from recognised health authorities, healthcare professionals and reputable scientific sources. Check the date, evidence and whether claims are supported by credible research.
